Shinka no Mi

"Haaaa! Haaaa!

After Makoto was flown to the Varsha Empire and handed over Destra to King Ranselph with the remaining Sarias, Helen left Terber to jump out.

Currently, no carriage was moving anywhere like across the country, and there was only one thing available to carriages moving around the country.

The reason for this was still in the Kaisel Empire, because the Kaisel Empire had invaded the whole world.

Of course, flights existed to the Varsha Empire before the Kaisel Empire waged war.

However, there was no reason to use the carriage because it was currently unavailable and, above all, Helen's own speed of travel, which became a 'transcendent', was overwhelmingly faster than that of the carriage.

"Ha... ha... Ku...!

Still, it's not supposed to be within a day or two, but when I handed over Destra, I was able to get someone near the Varsha Empire who could use metamagic at the mercy of Ranselph.

Exactly. It couldn't be transferred directly to the Varsha Empire in the [Sealed Demon Forest], but it was definitely shortened by a great deal of time nonetheless. If I kept running from Terveil like I do now, it would take two weeks lightly.

From where he was transported and brought in, Helen was trying to reach a distance of about five days on foot, if normal, in a day by continuing to run without rest.

And now we have finally reached the [Forest of the Sealed Demons] where the Varsha Empire is located.

"Ha... ha..."

In front of that forest, Helen, once stopped, breathes.

"... sister"

Groaning so small, Helen rushed out once again.

But one demon after another strikes before Helen like that.

"Bumo-o-o-o-o-o!"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

"Shaaaaaa!"

Pork-shaped demons, wolf-shaped demons, snake-shaped demons.

There used to be a mix of somewhat struggling opponents, but Helen never stopped now.

"Get out of my way. Ahhhhhhh!

Instead of in a dungeon with Makoto and us... we wave the two-wielded short knife, "Wind Blade" and "Thunder Blade," which we robbed from Destra's possession and chop it up in an instant.

"Haa, haa!

I want to get to my hometown a little faster.

Now that you're strong, now I'm going to help your sister -!

Running through with that one heart, Helen, along the way, did not realize that ordinary trees were growing, not [the sealed demon forest].

And...

"We're here...!

Through the woods, I saw the main gates and walls I used to see, as well as Castel Caña.

"Wait... now I..."

That's all I said, and the moment I tried to rush out again, I realized there were a lot of people near the main gate.

"No way!?"

The soldiers of the Kaisel Empire have already pushed us to the main entrance!?

Such despair passes my head for a moment, and I immediately run out.

... and somehow a different sight popped in than Helen had imagined.

"Ah... that...?

As we slowly approached, we saw people near the main entrance, but wherever we looked, we didn't see them as soldiers of the Kaisel Empire.

On the contrary, for some reason I can see my beloved sister and her neighbors.

"Yes, what the hell, what do you mean?

If you look closely, although we all look a little tired, we have a grin and not a single injury that looks like injury.

Confusion became increasingly unclear, and finally one of the people who was gathering such Helen realized.

"Oh, hey! That!"

"Hmm?"

"Ah!"

"Helen!?"

Then Helen's sister, one of those in the group - Amelia opened her eyes.

And it was not only Amelia, but Helen herself, who was to open her eyes.

"Seikichi Sensei!?"

"Ah, Helen. Dungeons?"

Makichi didn't look as surprised as Helen, and when she saw Helen, she normally greeted her.

"Oh dungeon... why are you here?"

Helen stuffed Makoto with the momentum when she came into contact with a group that was gathering near the main gate.

But it was stopped by another being.

"Helen! Why are you here?"

"Oh, sister!

"Sister!?"

Makoto raises his voice of surprise at the words of Amelia and Helen, who held Helen in momentum.

But there was no such thing as Makoto in my eyes, and they were just hugging each other.

"Sister... are you hurt? No injuries?

"That's okay... but you're the one, why are you here? He hasn't returned at all since he popped out..."

"Oh, that's..."

Helen stuffs words in Amelia's question.

Then Riel suggested watching the two of them like that.

"Both of you. I know it's a pleasure to see you again, but let's go inside for one second. Although there are no more threats from the Kaisel Empire or the [Demon Order], there are demons."

"Yeah, right."

"Wow, I get it... I don't see why there's a Makoto Sensei!?"

"No, I was surprised, too. Ha ha."

Sincerely laughing with her head on, Helen can't say anything.

However, as Riel was right, there was no choice but to stay outside, so once inside, except for the gatekeeper, each went home to himself.

And Amelia and Riels, of course, Makoto and Helen were invited to Castle Kanya, and Makoto explained how he came to this Varsha Empire on the road.

"I mean, that crystal cracked and flown ahead was this Varsha Empire?

"Well, don't be."

"What kind of relationship is that between Helen and Seiichi? He said he was a teacher..."

"Oh, I... I was a teacher at school."

"For a little while, though."

Makichi said that and laughed, and Riels nodded impressively.

"I see... if Makichi is your teacher, then this must be a great lecture."

"Right. I'm so curious as to what class you were in."

"... What the hell did you do?

"Why did you do something premise wack!?"

Seiichi, stared at by Helen with his jitsu eyes, was stunned by surprise.

In doing so, when he realized that he had reached the Castle of Caña, he was invited to Amelia's private room, where he was to talk in detail.

Helen and Amelia sit side by side, Makichi sitting in the form of a desk pinch.

And Riel and Swine withheld behind the Amelias.

"So? You'll explain, won't you?

"Uh... even if I say explain, what do I explain?

"All, all!

"Oh, yes."

Makichi nodded honestly at too many swordscreens and began to talk about things after being flown away for the first time.

"At first I didn't even know where I was flown, besides I couldn't use magic, and I thought it was a troublesome place, and some disgusting army of potato worms attacked me, and I fell off a cliff while I was on the run"

"I'm not normal anymore?

Seiichi, who is suddenly encountering an impossible event that is not normal, held her head down.

"I heard the river from where it fell, so I headed towards it... and that's where I met Amelia in the water bath"

"Hey, forgot and I said hey!?"

"I have no choice but to explain!?"

Next to Amelia and Makichi talking a lot, Helen holds her head again.

"Oh, how can you be in so much trouble in a row? Isn't that strange?"

"Dear Helen... you had a hard time too..."

"Oh, why are you looking at me like that?

Helen frowned, not knowing what it meant to be seen with strangely raw warm eyes from Riel and Swine.

From there I heard even more of Makichi's actions, dialogue with trees and one stuffing at the main entrance. And stories of massive amounts of the finest healing pills that brought the magic of recovering defective site regeneration levels to the entire country.

Finished listening that far, Helen nods one thing.

"Yeah. Seiichi Sensei is crazy after all"

"Why!? I just helped!?"

"It was a big help, but it was a help that went beyond our common sense..."

Unexpectedly to a far-eyed swin, Helen becomes more and more jitty-eyed.

"... you still did something crazy?

"Not yet... I didn't do anything that crazy originally, did I?

"What, are you serious?

"My true face is hard!

Makoto turned away unexpectedly from Helen, who asked him with no expression.

And finally, he explained why there were no 'apostles' for the soldiers of the Kaisel Empire and the [Demonic Order].

"Well... there is a war because there are soldiers of the Kaisel Empire and the 'apostles' of the [Demonic Order]... I wonder if I can solve that myself, then [the Forest of the Sealed Demons] is also in the way, cut off only the soldiers of the Kaisel Empire and the places of each 'apostle', and dump them in the sea..."

I don't know what you're talking about.

Helen had no idea.

Instead, perhaps everyone will not understand Makoto's thoughts. Instead, why did such an idea come to mind? I don't know that except Makoto.

It was a confused Helen because Makichi had spoken too much about flying, but I soon realized it was there.

"Huh? Well... maybe, but no enemies now, Wake?

"Well... that's what you're gonna say, right?

……

When Amelia answered Helen's question that way, Helen remained silent.

"Heh, Helen?

"... it means I'm stronger..."

When Amelia accidentally spoke, Helen stuck to her desk, saying so.

"How worried I am and how I feel about being strong..."

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

"Helen... you felt the same way about me..."

"Huh? What's the same thought... your sister too?

"That's right. You know what? I tried to protect everyone in exchange for my life because the soldiers were all worn out and they were dying now, but healed it in an instant... and I still didn't think it was going to turn into losing. But Riels told me they'd fight with me to the end..."

"That's right..."

"... well, if you notice anything, you'll say that all the enemies have dumped them in the ocean, right? What should I look like..."

"Makoto-sensei..."

"No, I'm really sorry"

Makichi was really there. He bowed his head even though he was lost.

Then both Helen and Amelia sighed.

"Ha... well, it's wrong to be angry with Makichi, and I can only thank you enough for anything."

"Right... from what I've heard, even if I could get there, I don't think I could protect it... thank you so much, Makichi Sensei"

"Ooh? Well, you're welcome?

Suddenly Helen thanked me and Seiichi felt sorry for me and was glad I didn't have to do the damage again.

And...

"Helen. Speaking of which, you didn't say."

"Huh?"

Ignoring the surprise Helen, Amelia hugs gently.

"Welcome back, Helen"

"... I'm home, sister"

Helen also held Amelia back gently.
